Boys as Mine LOcatOrs.

The Supreme Court of this State
 has rendered decision in the case
 of Alex. Thompson vs. Wm. Spray,
 which is of considerable impor-
 tance from a mining standpoint.
 Alex. Thompson and children
 brought suit against Spray for certain piece of placer mining ground located in Jackson valley. The case was tried in ths Superior Court of this county. At the trial of the cause 1t came out in the presentation of plaintiffs case that the notice of location posted Jan- uary 20, 1882, was signed by James Thompson and A. Thompson, Jr., ct al. The first named was 20 and the latter 15 years of age at the time of making the location, both born in California. Later on an amended notice was offered bear ing the same date. and containing a fuller description of the prop erty, but differently signed. This WAS ruled out. At the close of plaintiffs evidence a motion for nonsuit was made and granted. This nonsuit, it is evident from the pleadings, was granted on the grounds that James and Alex. Thompson were minors, and could not make valid mining location. Plaintiffs appealed, holding that tEe mining laws of the United States do not require a person to be over the age of 21 years to To- cate mining claim. The law re- quires citizenship or a declaration to become citizen, but is silent as to age. On thls point the plain tiffs appealed. The Supreme Court holds that the nonsuit was improp- erly granted, and orders the judg- ment reversed and cause remanded for new trial. It is said to be the first case wherein the right of a minor to locate mining land has been declded.-Amador (Cal.} Ledger.

 "Was it pretty good sermon?"
 'It was corker, but it was a little long. The parson said it had four heads, and after he got through three turns I got tired and wanted to duck, but Charley said we oughtn'S to go when there was only a case card in, so we stayed the deal out. Then they clipped in for sort of jackpot"
 "How much did you contribute?" ?"
 "Well, nothing. You see Charlie was on the edge and he gave five. That oversized me and I didn't know whether table stakes went or not, so I passed out. I ought to have really got 45 per cent of that five for steering, but I didn't care to raise fuss about it."
